Horrible customer service. Made an order on the phone. They confirmed they have the item on stock and made me pay for it over the phone so that they can hold the item. They told me that it will take 15 minutes. Got there after 2 hours and they say it will take longer. After waiting 10 minutes, another worker came and said we don't even have the item on stock! I explained that I drove from anther city to pick up the item. Asked to speak to manager. The manager came and said his name is Jonathan. He was very rude and instead of apologizing and finding another store that have the item that I purchased, he told me that I am upset and raising my voice so he will not be able to help me. Then the manager leaves and I don't even think he was the manager. Not only I will not go there (pasadena branch) anymore, but I proobably will stop purchasing from best buy as well. Work in customer service for many years and this was very poorly handled. Wasted my time. Went home and canceled the order. I was able to pick up the same item cheaper at Costco.

The store is clean, and the staff is friendly
We came in thinking we could get parts for installing Apple CarPlay, and they had all the parts except for two of them
I think it would have been nice if they would tell you an estimate of when things would arrive if they don’t have it in stock – we wouldn’t have ordered / purchased if we knew how long we’d have to wait
Very friendly and professional
customer service
The store was clean and well stocked and the staff was very knowledgeable.
